Sep 23 2024 Share

Republican Donald Trump has ruled out running in the 2028 U.S. presidential election if he loses the upcoming November vote, as stated in an interview aired on Sunday. When asked if he would run again after a potential defeat, the 78-year-old former president told the U.S. news program Full Measure: “No, I don’t. I think that will be it. I don’t see that happening at all.”

However, Trump expressed optimism for his chances in the November 5 election, saying he hopes to be “successful” at the polls.

Currently, Trump is in a tight race with Democratic candidate Vice President Kamala Harris, especially in key battleground states that often determine the outcome of close elections.
Though Trump lost to Biden in 2020, he refused to concede, claiming the election was “stolen” and fueling conspiracy theories among his supporters.On January 6, 2021, these claims led to a violent attack on the U.S. Capitol as Trump supporters attempted to halt the certification of the election results.

In recent months, Trump has repeatedly declined to commit to fully accepting the outcome of the upcoming election.

Four Maltese men and one Maltese woman were arrested after they assaulted two police officers during their duty in Triq il-Kbira San Ġużepp, Ħamrun over the weekend.

The officers were assaulted after they fined an illegally parked car.

It was at that point that a number of persons exited an establishment and began arguing with police.

Despite being given orders to maintain public order and cooperation, the persons assaulted the officers, forcing the latter to use pepper spray and taser.

More police arrived on site and controlled the situation. A 42 year old woman and two men, aged 46 and 44, were arrested on site. Investigations also showed that two other persons had fled the scene – two men aged 23 and 33.

They were identified and arrested in their respective residences.

A medical team was called on site and transported two police officers to Mater Dei. One was certified as having suffered grievous injuries and another suffered light injuries.

Investigations are ongoing.

Over or under?

So we took to our followers to settle this debate once and for all. In less than 24 hours we got well over 2,000 responses, and the majority ruled – Option A is the way to go.

With over 80% of the votes, it seems as though toilet paper needs to be placed with the accessible end OVER the roll instead of under.

Do you agree?

Or is there some third esoteric option we’ve missed?
